Hmm dont recall the exact numbers without looking it up but roughly 6-7k in parts then labor.

 

thats what i expected, damn lol gonna be an expensive project thats for sure

 

Well you can hold off on the trans and save some money there but it would be wise to plan on getting it. I gambled with mine and it didnt take long for it to go, some have better luck but mine onyl held together for about 2 months.

 

ya thats true, i could just run low boost and have fun and save more for the tranny in the future....i guess we shall see lol

 

450whp, ur not gonna do pistons and rods?

 

No need with a turbo thats efficient at that power level. If you look, a member posted that has 450 on the stock bottom end on the same kit the OP is shooting for.

 

exactly, i think it will be ok. im not going to beat it alot, and if i was making 450 pushing a turbo to its max i would understand building the bottom end, but im going to be running lower boost with this turbo and not pushing it as hard as i could there for it will be less likely to break stuff, rather than pushing it to its max. not saying i might not break anything but im hoping i dont untill i have money to build the bottom end as well lol

 

just wanted to bump this up, i have purchased 2 items for the project as of right now!! shall be posting pics of the upcoming installs!

 

Clutch and flywheel? Lol

 

no lol Coilovers and a M3 style rear lip

 

Thats not build items, thats look pretty items, haha!

 

haha well its part of my build overall, coils were a GREAT deal couldnt pass them up haha

 

I thought u were going to get the tredstone kit joe?

 

i might, when i decide to buy the kit, i will make the decision then, i made this thread before Treadstone released there kit

 

sub'd

I've got a very similar project going right now. It would be good to compare notes.

I'll probably be starting a thread on mine here soon once I have enough already done to make it worthwhile.

 

awesome bro, looking forward to seeing your results! good luck
